For elite courtesans numerous, the term "sex worker" brings to mind images of luxury, but for some individuals, particularly those struggling with emotional health issues, escorting becomes a method of livelihood. A 2020 study by the sex workers' advocacy organization, the International Union of Sex Workers (IUSW), found that a alarming 71% of sex workers in the UK experience poor emotional health, including anxiety (OCD), anxiety, sadness, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Furthermore, 64% of those surveyed reported using chemicals to cope with the emotional demands of their work.

Sex worker agencies often face significant prejudice, both internally and outside the industry. Sex workers are frequently judged, leading to feelings of loneliness, embarrassment, and poor confidence. The effects of this disapproval can be devastating, as persons may be reluctant to seek help for emotional health concerns, worried criticism or retribution. Additionally, escort services may have obstacles in accessing mental health resources and support due to the disapproved nature of their profession.

Interestingly, sex workers who engage in Street prostitution often face unique emotional problems. Due to the fleeting and chaotic nature of their meetings, sex workers may experience rapid emotional changes, including emotions of togetherness followed by disconnection. This system can be psychologically exhausting and may contribute to underlying mental health issues, such as sadness and uncertainty.

But, it's not all doom. Effort are being made to prioritize psychological well-being and reduce stigma within the Sex worker agencies. In some countries, such as the Netherlands, where sex work is decriminalized, sex workers have access to tailored psychologists, including therapy and trauma counseling. Similarly, the UK's IUSW has launched programs aimed at providing education and support for sex workers, focusing on emotional awareness, self-care, and emotional regulation.

For example, The Pride Organization in the US offers support and tools specifically for sex workers struggling with emotional concerns. Similarly, the UK-based organization, SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project), provides community-led support and advocacy for sex workers, including those struggling with psychological issues.

In the end, establishing a society of openness and sympathy around psychological awareness is critical for improving the lives of escorts and sex workers. By pushing back disapproved attitudes and misconceptions, we can work towards establishing a more empathetic and participatory environment for individuals who, against the odds, choose to engage in this work. This shift in perspective will authorize escorts to obtain the help and resources they need to preserve healthy mental well-being.
